Formed circa 2006 in California they are a four piece crust grind noise never ending force of nature. they say "Our origins are unknown, but our task in life is to defeat the evil that dwells within life's cycle, which is the madness that grows with power."

This is a compilation casette of two previous releases.

First off with 'Hail To The King' not as fast as i expected, this has some good fuzzed ut sludgey bits in between the blast beats, the vocals are as ever with this genre just a screaming noise, what lets this down for me is the complete and total lack of any samples from Bruce Campbells movies, or re creations of with someone shouting or speaking those legendary catchphrases.

So to 'Humanity Deserves To Die' and its the same again, but have to pick out 'Crushed Beneath The Great Weight Of Hate' an oustanding piece of sludge/doom with a crust on top.

Its good but it aint 'Groovy' !

Malparit (Guitar)
Aggressor (Bass)

Blackened Punk Metal band from Catalonia, formed in 2011.
Released 2 demos in 2012 and then an album a year later, since then just an EP and a compilation, now they are back with a new album, it's going to be loud!

'Satanic D-Beat' opens with some tortured souls sound samples, then this really crisp and heavy as fuck guitar kicks in backed by furious drumming and gutteral vocals, all this reminds me of the good old days of Venom.

Aside from a couple of timing changes the next track 'Argh!!!!' is the same as the first and the next few, yep also does the same.

'Cemintiri Rocker' comes across as a straight forward speed/thrash song circa 1983, again a very clean guitar sound and played with absolute precision.

Then its back to the venom again for the last few tracks which may or may not be sung in spanish, i could not tell.

You may think this brief review is somewhat negative maybe you think i should say more, the reality is it all sounds the same, but in this case thats a good thing!

Vile Anarchy (Drums)
J.Violatör (Guitar)
W.Horepreacher (Bass/Vocals)

Wömit Angel was founded in early summer of 2010 in Tampere, Finland, by three guys who wanted to create music that makes you to drink your ass off and to mosh your head off, just like Impaled Nazarene and Motörhead does, so it was clear from the start that you could hear the attitude in Wömit Angel’s furious and storming music. In December last year long time drummer Vile Anarchy parted ways with Wömit Angel thus leaving the two founding brothers in this rabid wolfpack.

I was expecting a full on nasty assault of the worst kind, smashing drums, screaming guitars and deathly vocals from the pits of hell, all wrapped up in short bursts of agression....
And that's exactly what i got, simple, stunning and in your face blend of punk and extreme metal.

Canadian crust/grindcore band formed in 2006.
Not much in the way of info but this is from their band profile:
"Many beers ago... in a bar not too far away, a band began their journey to release their agression and hatred created by their surrounding environment unto the ears of
an audience not unlike themselves, in the form of music. Fast, Loud, Brutal music.

Playing several shows around their home town of Sault Ste. Marie and progressively honing their skills as musicians along the way they are now ready to reveal their music to a wider and unknowing audience.
With music consisting of fast paced shredding guitar riffs, Brutally intricate bass riffs, and plenty of deadly blast beats.
Lyrics consisting of drinking, the problems of society, religion, the environment, and the problem of man in general.
All through the eyes of three drunk assholes. we are Shit Liver".

Expecting yet another selection of 2 minute hyper fast blasts with grunts and screams all counted in with an opening tap of the drumsticks, i was almost right (No obvious count ins) but certainly the first 3 songs deliver.

Then comes 'Hellen Kellers' a strange almost crust/doom sound with some sort of spoken piece over it, then it turns to the blast beats and screams, cant understand a fucking word he is singing, however that never harmed Napalm Death in the old days and just like said band its about the written words not the vocal performance, you see through the screams are these words -
"Religion in general, something I despise.
Blindly following a leader who seems so divine
False messages of hope have been consumed by your mind.
Closed up when you found your fill of numerous lies.
No time for other school of thought, atheist paradigms.
The anti christ is everyone, the world is paralyzed,
By fear, reveal the glaring eyes,
Of a death machine, you dared to let it survive."

Now thats some pretty clever writing!

Next song that stands out is 'Its Not My Problem' first of all its nearly 5 minutes long, thats actual music not 3 minutes of silence with a quick burst at the end.
Starts out typical of the genre, then moves towards Death Metal and end up with that crust/doom style again, which i like a lot, this also returns on the final song 'Shit Will Prevail'.

There is more to this band than meets the eye and in some ways their beer and noise image doesn't do them justice, neither in some ways does the name, these guys are good at what they do and maybe if they took some time to think about what they could produce in the future they might reach a bigger audience.
